Schedule of events in Xel-Ha for 2009

June 6th/ Honey Harvesting Ceremony   The “Xunaan Cab” or Meliponini bee honey harvesting ceremony, takes place in Xel-Ha twice a Year, in June and December, on full moon nights. A mayan priest goes to Xel-Ha’s meliponary and leads a ritual through which thankfulness is offered to mayan deities for their blessings and for the bees’ fertility. What makes the Meliponini very particular is that it does not have a sting and the honey it produces has very high nutritional and medicinal values.
